  • HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 5000/6000 and X500/X600

The core of today’s announcement centers around TerraJet, a new toner technology that places a protective shell around toner particles and helps to reduce waste. With TerraJet, HP significantly reduced the amount of plastic needed to contain toner in cartridges and their packaging.

Connectivity is versatile with USB 2.0, Ethernet, and optional Wi-Fi 5. There’s even a USB flash drive option to plug and print without connecting a computer. HP printers are compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, and Android.

The 4200 series is a compact 16.6 x 6.8 x 11.3 inches, and the 4300 is slightly larger at 16.6 x 17.1 x 15.1 inches. HP LaserJet printers are built to last, and their weights are substantial at 36 and 45 pounds, respectively.

Print speeds are up to 55 pages per minute, with the first page out in as little as 6.0 seconds for black ink only and 6.5 seconds in color. The enterprise-class printers also support up to 1,200 dpi in color.

The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 6000 series includes a 600 dpi optical scanner that can accept 8.5-inch wide pages up to 34 inches in length through a feeder or 14 inches as a sheet. Fax is also integrated. Up to 80 pages can be scanned in a minute, making this a workhorse for a busy office.

For any size office and even when working from home, these new HP Color LaserJet printers need to be on your radar as possible high-performance color print solutions that are energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
